Spring Bazaar Business Success!

​Students in FHSA's Gifted and Talented Seminar class learned how to create, market, sell, mass produce, and earn money from original products that they designed. Items were priced from $1.00 to $15.00. Students from the entire school were able to purchase these fantastic items made by 6th-8th grade GT Seminar participants. This concept was created based on recognizing that tomorrow’s jobs and economy are going to be created by leaders and entrepreneurs we foster today. This event was intended to inspire every child to have an entrepreneurial spirit, to lead with confidence, think critically, display creativity, be financially responsible, and understand the value of teamwork.

Congratulations are in Order!

GT Design Challenge!!

Mrs. Jennifer Thomas’ 2nd and 4th graders recently worked on design challenges using coding resources and other various materials. Students created arcade games for the Forest Heights STEM Academy Fall Festival. Fourth grade students designed animated games through the coding program SCRATCH.

Students Honored at the Governor's Cup Awards Luncheon!

Allie Farrar (we apologize for originally posting the wrong name!) and Courtney Satterfield, accompanied by Mrs. Combs and Dr. Robinson, were honored at the Donald W. Reynolds Governor's Cup awards luncheon. These girls won First Place in the Y.E.S. (Youth Entrepreneur Showcase) business plan competition for students in 5th-8th Grades. "Y.E.S. encourages elementary and middle school students to think of a business idea and then collaborate in teams to take the idea through the basic requirements of a business plan--just as if they were going to present it to an investor or a lender in the real world." The girls were awarded First Place for their Stresslets and were then recognized at this college-level business competition. We are so proud of these young ladies for their excellence and for representing FHSA and the LRSD!!

Thank You V.I.P.'s Volunteers!!!
